Which naming style did you use?

That sounds like a bug: our drill gerber should contain all holes. I've 
added this to the TODO (but it potentially depends on the naming style 
selected too).

We are heading toward having only one naming style, the pcb-rnd naming 
style with direct gerber export. In that style we export everything we 
can, including the drill gerbers - but they should not be empty if you 
have drills, so that's the bug we need to fix.

Yup, thanks, this is already on the TODO. We ran out of time with an ACK 
on the gerber resolution so the excellon side of this needs to wait until 
after the release.
